Earning the ENERGY STAR means a product meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. ENERGY STAR? certified televisions are on average, over 24 percent more energy efficient than conventional models, saving energy in all usage modes: sleep, idle and on.

Other Comments: This replaced a 46 inch 8 year old Samsung whose "on" switch inexplicably died. Lots of technological advances in the past 8 years, so rather than get it fixed for a chunk of change and still have an 8 year old TV, we opted for a new one. Beach had the best price and the best service. Got good advice from sales and post-sales support.
Shipping was expedient, for sure. The TV arrived as promised (rather quickly). We were up and running within the hour.
